The CRAZIEST NFL DRAFT BLUNDER in New York Jets HISTORY

Imagine the commissioner saying that you made an illegal draft pick, and that you had to redo your pick as a result. Well, at the 1969 NFL-AFL Draft, that's exactly what happened when the New York Jets spent their final pick in the 17th round on Wyoming running back and CFL standout Vic Washington, and were informed as the draft was wrapping up that they were not allowed to do this, which led to chaos ensuing. This is the story behind the pick

"It took two weeks for the Jets to do something stupid." And we've kept up the tradition since.

[@Jason_Maier]

One of my favorite Jets related stories was how because the Mets in 1973 made their unlikely run to the World Series; the Jets had to play their first seven games on the road that year. Why? Because the Mets were the primary tenant at Shea Stadium and the Jets couldn't play any home games until the Mets were done with their season.

[@badgerden7080]

🤣🤣🤣

A jet draft video let's go

[@andrewpadaetz5549]

and not the infamous Ken O'Brien over Dan Marino pick either #oops

[@shifty1927]

Who gets excited for jets content???

[@footwork216]

​Nobody will ever argue that Ken O'Brien was better than Marino, but he was a decent NFL QB and if you switched the two of them out, he might have had a much easier go of it behind the Dolphins elite pass blocking line than Marino would have behind the Jets porous one.

[@msarzo]

This draft pick was peak Jets even though they were reigning Super Bowl champs because of course it was

[@A_YouTube_Commenter]

It was all downhill from there.

[@mrmoose6619]

Just another example of the Jets being the Jets....

[@mountaineernews2]

That was the first jets move that was stupid in the history of the Jets because Joe Namath have pretty much cursed the team ever since they won the Super Bowl

[@donaldpaluga]

Dammit, someone beat me to it

[@elijahpatterson2596]

The last thing you want to do is draft Mark Sanchez, Christian Hackenburg, and Zach Wilson.

[@jonahfalcon1970]

You got it backwards. The last thing a QB wants is to be is drafted by the Jets.

[@luisreyes1963]

​@@jonahfalcon1970 Ouch. 😅

[@CTubeMan]

The “dropout rule” you mentioned explains why Marcus Dupree wasn’t eligible for the draft until 1987, even though he started playing college football in 1982.

[@AtlanticCoastJoey]

Fullback… *OHHHH NO!!!*

[@stevenvitte]

lol I can see Jets fans yelling out that after the Jets make any pick in general, just for laughs!

[@jonahfalcon1970]

Remember when drafts had more than 7 rounds?

Whether it’s ESPN, JG9 and even you can find a time and place in their entire existence for the Jets to blunder NFL picks constantly is beyond mortifying!

[@Armedjoy91]

They did pretty well drafting last year

[@okolo22000]

@@Armedjoy91 I’m aware of that. JG9 mentioned their draft last year and they already have 3 all-pros from there.

[@CTubeMan]

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about how Washington (the team) took Moses Denson with their first pick in 1972, even though he was in the CFL and would be as old as 32 when he would join the NFL.

[@marcus813]

They compounded their error by drafting a player who was pretty much done with the sport? I can't believe how many clubs didn't do their due diligence back then.

[@chaosgreyblood]

And so it began the series of buttfumbles made by the Jets in the NFL Draft. J-E-T-S suck, suck, suck!

[@MichaelPiz]

Re: the draft in general. Please tell me that at some point in football history, some jokester GM offered to trade the final pick of the last round for a first rounder. I would. 😁

[@tigerwoods373]

What are you? 10?

[@flyinelvis69]

*Johnny Lam Jones and Vernon Gholston have entered the conversation"

[@badgerden7080]

At least Lam Jones did produce some stats. Gholston is forgettable.

[@A_YouTube_Commenter]

@@badgerden7080 Gholston was our Jamarcus Russell.

[@stevenbauer4799]

Fennis dembo another wyoming favourite.

[@donaldpaluga]

That's a name I haven't heard in a LONG time

[@Rockhound6165]

I'm surprised you never did a video on the Cardinals dumb draft picks. Their 2003 first round alone was stupid.

[@Jason_Maier]

What ... the Jets doing something stupid? Shocked I tell you ...! Anyhow, I just googled Vic Washington and found out that he was actually expelled from Wyoming. In March 1969 he was playing an intramural basketball game and had a confrontation with a student referee. Vic plead guilty to an assault charge and was expelled.

[@iamhungey12345]

Speaking of the Jets draft blunders, a little reminder that even Jay Alford had a better career than Vernon Gholston.

[@footwork216]

Winning that last game of the '07 season against the Chiefs in OT really paid dividends. Costing them a better draft pick and forcing them to go with Gholston instead of the guy they really wanted, which was Darren McFadden. Let's be real though, that just would have been it's own video. "Jets draft bust Darren McFadden".

[@badgerden7080]

Two weeks, huh? Now it only takes 60 seconds. I hope that front office who made this blunder never got hired by anyone else.

[@skykid3000]

Shocked that the greatest blunder in Jets draft history didn’t involve Mike Maccagnan.

[@luisreyes1963]

The Jets win 1 Super Bowl & they're still cursed? 🤷‍♂️

[@badgerden7080]

I prefer that they had lost that Super Bowl and be good since then.

[@A_YouTube_Commenter]

@@badgerden7080 Like Minnesota? I don't know. KC won SB4 I think the Jets are due.

[@johncate9541]

Jets gonna Jest...

[@ronpeacock9939]

Sadly, in later years guys are dropping out and leaving school after their sophomore years all the time now... amazing how rules change when you get Union CBA's and courts involved... the world was not yet sue-happy back then.

[@PADRII]

That's it? I'm sorry, that barely makes the top 100 blunders in Jets history, ESPECIALLY Jets drafting history.

[@jeffrapier947]

Must not have been too high on him if he went in the 4th round the following year. So, they had likely at least three picks they could have taken him with but, what, thought they could snag him in the last round again?

[@andrewgrove1691]

Picking Kyle Brady over Warren Sapp was a dumb idea

[@A_YouTube_Commenter]

Big time.

[@babarazamsucks]

Watching this in 2024 when Caleb Williams will be drafted.

[@tigerwoods373]

I'm gonna say rogers is going to be terrible. Like bottom half qb. I think it was a bad trade especially at the price he's being paid. You'll have a 2 or 3 year window at best, more like 1-2 to win a sb and I just don't think the jets are that close.
